SEATTLE – What started off promising, with three solid innings from rookie left-hander Tyler Alexander, quickly turned in the fourth inning and led to another blowout loss.
In his third start of the season, Alexander allowed four runs in 4u2153 innings, oft-used lefty Nick Ramirez was hit around late and the Detroit Tigers lost to the Seattle Mariners, 8-1, at T-Mobile Park for the third straight day.
Alexander didn’t allow a hit until the third inning but allowed three runs on four hits in the bottom of the fourth. The Tigers’ offense couldn’t back him, scoring one run on seven hits.
